Description
This article examines the curatorial struggle of two emerging feminist artists/curators to communicate, through three exhibits, with an audience mostly comprised of students. Students expressed bemusement, hostility, misogyny and homophobia in response to exhibits located in the library at a women's university in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The authors draw on feminist theories concerning transformational politics to examine the relationships between feminist art, its curation, and its audiences. Cet article examine la lutte de deux feministes, conservatrices de musee et artistes en emergence, pour communiquer, a travers trois expositions, avec un public compose surtout d'etudiant/es. Lors de ces expositions dans la bibliotheque d'une universite pour femmes, a Halifax, Nouvelle-Ecosse, la reaction du public alla de la surprise a l'hostilite, la misogynie et l'homophobie. En examinant les relations entre l'art feministe, sa conservation et ses publics, les auteures s'appuient sur des theories feministes concernant les politiques transformationnelles.
